Bucket list check – Run a color run

Bucket list check – Set off 99 Red Balloons

So it’s hurricane season in Florida right now. We’ve been under the grasps of Irma for the past two weeks. Between forecasts, hurricane warnings, and evacuation orders, we’ve been pulled every which way under stress. I live on the tiny peninsula on the whole peninsula of the state of Florida. We are completely surrounded by […]

I could not imagine a more perfect day to take a boat ride in the Bay. Lucky me, I found this awesome venue through a fellow blogger on Instagram. Instead of having to deal with classes, licenses, and rentals, we went through a place that offered “e-boats” for an allotted time. How much more simple can […]

I have been trying to run a color run for three years now. Considering the event always took place on my birthday, I always made other plans. It’s called prioritizing, you know? Most of the time I like to jet away on faraway adventures for my birthday — not sweat my butt off in the middle […]

“…99 red balloons floating in the summer sky..” This was one of the single most 100% original Sami ideas I ever added to the bucket list. I always envisioned myself standing at the edge of a bright green field setting bunches of cherry red balloons to the wind. I feel like I got my idea […]

Although I am a tad late in posting this travel list check, I want to say that this was the best trip we took last year. I think that can be attributed to the fact that we spent a lot of time with family I hadn’t seen in decades. These people are valued family members […]

I’m just going to add a disclaimer that this post will be about vaginas. But don’t get your hopes up. Take whatever pleasant mental picture you conjured up in your head and throw it away. Throw it in the trash just as you would a hot strip of used wax covered with every piece of pubic hair […]

This is definitely a skill you have to practice to fully grasp. It isn’t as easy as it looks and it is very messy. I was covered in wet, mucky clay. I also had to start over many times and my creations definitely didn’t look perfect. You have to move your hands in a certain way, while […]

I thought as I was commuting at 6:52 A.M. this morning. “I’m wilting”, I repeatedly thought to myself. I find myself in the same slump I ended up in when Flowers and Wanderlust was birthed two years ago. “The point is to feel alive” and not end up living the same day over each time the sun comes […]

** this was supposed to be posted Monday but come to find it was still sitting in my drafts folder. Oops. One of these days I’ll post on the correct day. ** (This was previously my Facebook post.. but as I revise this, she’s using me and my shirt as a means to pull herself […]

I’m six months late to post this but this is one of the biggest life changes on my bucket list. We didn’t know whether this would be checked off sooner or later but we figured it would never “be the right time” so why not stop trying to prevent that. Then I lost my job […]

We took an impromptu road trip to the mountains for the Fourth of July weekend. This trip was a trial run with and a minute break from reality. As unorganized as it was, we still ended up feeling refreshed as we do with any trip. We made a stop in Savannah before we reached our destination in […]

“But he/she won’t even remember it…” That was me. My husband and I had this very discussion while our peanut was still just a-cookin’ in the oven. We vowed we would never do that. That’s the funny thing about parenthood. You end up doing a lot of things you said you’d never do. Despite this […]
